I purchased one of these from eCost.com during their Black Friday sale.
Well I got to try it out this weekend and I am very happy with it. It's light, easy to expand, reasonably study and collapses to a very small size.
I was able to put up christmas lights around the front door and along the front gutter very quickly. You can extend the height in seconds and moving it around is a cinch.
I would highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a lot of room for a traditional A-frame step ladder, or needs the versatility of a ladder that can be anywhere from 2 to 12 feet tall. Of course you can really stand at 12 feet safely, unless you have something to hold on to, but you can stand at 9 feet safely according the instructions.
Great for going up in the attic too since it can extend up past the ceiling.
I still have to use a "little giant" type ladder to get up past 12 feet, or anywhere I need a free standing ladder, but this telescoping ladder will get a lot of use since it is so much easier to maneuver.

Looks like it's actually just $89 right now, which is a great deal.
